DESCRIPTION

A big, but not overpowering Primitivo from Puglia deep in Italy's southern heel.

The vineyards from where this wine comes are in an area known as Gioia del Colle where Benedictine monks begain growing Primitivo grapse as far back as the early 1700s. Fermented and aged for a year in stainless steel before bottling it's bursting with ripe berry fruits. There's a touch of elegance on the palate helped along by the hint of soft tannins.

And while it has plenty of body it doesn't overdo it which means it goes well with roasted meats, or rich pasta dishes.
